Gene's Plumbing handles leak detection across Lexington and the surrounding area — licensed, insured and available for emergencies.
Leak detection in Lexington starts with a meter check and a pressure test, which tells us whether water is leaving the system at all and roughly how fast. Only then do the listening devices and thermal camera come out.
Every house handles leak detection a little differently depending on its age, and Lexington has plenty of both old and new. The fitting, the pipe material and the way the last plumber left it all change what the right repair is.
That is why the Lexington truck carries parts for more than one era of plumbing. The leak detection job gets finished on the first visit wherever it can be, because a second trip costs you a day and costs us the trust.
The order we work in, and why.
A plumber asks the questions on the phone that narrow it down, so the right parts and the right machine are already on the truck when it arrives.
A gauge goes on the system, a camera goes down the line, or the meter gets checked with everything off — whichever actually answers the question. Nobody quotes a repair on a guess.
If there is a cheaper option that will actually hold, you hear about it. If the cheap option is a patch that fails in six months, you hear that too.
Before the truck goes you see it working — the drain running, the pressure holding, the pit cycling — not just a thumbs up from the driveway.
Common questions, answered plainly.
It depends on what the diagnosis turns up, which is why you get a firm price for your leak detection job in Lexington before any work starts rather than an hourly rate that runs while you wait.
Anything actively leaking or backing up is treated as same-day in Lexington. Scheduled leak detection work is usually booked within two or three business days.
Absolutely. If another company has quoted you for leak detection in Lexington, a second look either finds a smaller fix or confirms the first diagnosis so you can spend with confidence.
Yes. The leak detection repair done at your Lexington property is warranted, and the terms are written on the invoice rather than described vaguely at the door.
Real reviews from real service calls.
"Water heater let go on a Sunday morning and flooded half the basement. Had someone here inside two hours, new tank in by afternoon, and he hauled the old one off. Price was what he said on the phone."
"Whole house was on galvanized from the fifties. They repiped in PEX one bathroom at a time so we were never without water overnight. Drywall patches were cut clean and easy to fix."
"Tankless unit was throwing an error code every other shower. Descaled it, replaced a sensor, walked me through the yearly flush so I can do it myself."
